1. A manufacturing company is interested in predicting the number of defects that will be produced each hour on the assembly line. The managers believe that there is a relationship between the defect rate and the production rate per hour. The managers believe that they can use production rate to predict the number of defects. The following data were collected for 8 randomly selected hours. Defects Production rate/h 2 3 1 2 3 5 40 45 20 35 40 50 30 50 e. At a significance level of .01 can you conclude that production rate is a good predictor of the number defects?

The World Bank Group suggests that a minimum of 6 GB of internet data per month per user is needed for online activities to ensure better life quality (accessing news, health and educational information, social media, and other online activities). Considering the costs and poor internet connectivity, a researcher wanted to estimate the mean monthly data consumption of students in rural areas. She calculated a mean of 3.4 GB of monthly data from a random sample of 25 students. • Sub ● daia (GB) are normally disipe eviation of Complete the statement: If we consider all possible samples of the same size and a 95% confidence interval is obtained from each sample, ther ✓ [Select] Neither A nor B A. 95% of these intervals would contain 3.4 GB.

Engineers are interested in comparing the mean hydrogen production rates per day for three different heliostat sizes. From the past week’s records, the engineers obtained the amount of hydrogen produced per day for each of the three heliostat sizes. Then they computed and compared the sample means, which showed that the mean production rate per day increased with the heliostat sizes. a. Identify the type of the study describe here. b. Discuss the type of interference that can and cannot be drawn from this study.

atients suffering from rheumatic diseases or osteoporosis often suffer critical losses in bone mineral density (BMD). Alendronate is one medication prescribed to build or prevent further loss of BMD. Holcomb and Rothenberg (A-3) looked at 96 women taking alendronate to determine if a difference existed in the mean percent change in BMD among five different primary diagnosis classifications. Group 1 patients were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Group 2 patients were a mixed collection of patients with diseases including lupus, Wegener’s granulomatosis and polyarteritis, and other vasculitic diseases (LUPUS). Group 3 patients had polymyalgia rheumatica or temporal arthritis (PMRTA). Group 4 patients had osteoarthritis (OA) and group 5 patients had osteoporosis (O) with no other rheumatic diseases identified in the medical record. Changes in BMD are shown in the following table. Discuss the Alendronate medication data in terms of variability. To determine if a difference…
5. An article in Agricultural Engineering (December 1964, pp. 672-673) described an experiment in which the daily weight gain of swine is evaluated at different levels of housing temperature. The mean weight of each group of swine at the start of the experiment is considered to be a nuisance factor. The data from this experiment are as follows: Mean Weight (lbs) Housing Air Temperatures (°F) 100 50 60 70 80 90 1.37 1.58 2.00 1.97 1.40 100 0.39 150 1.47 1.75 2.16 1.82 1.14 -0.19 200 1.19 1.91 2.22 1.67 0.88 -0.77 Does housing air temperature affect mean weight gain at a = 0.05?
